Why garden plants are essential

Garden plants increase biodiversity

Garden plants play a key role in supporting biodiversity. Bees, butterflies, birds and beneficial insects rely on plants for food and shelter. By choosing bee & butterfly friendly garden plants, you create a lively outdoor space full of movement and life. The more variety you plant, the richer your garden ecosystem becomes.

Garden plants help reduce heat

A garden filled with greenery stays significantly cooler than one dominated by tiles. Trees and shrubs provide natural shade, while plants absorb less heat than paving. This makes hardy garden plants and leafy shrubs not only beautiful, but also functional during warm summers.

Garden plants improve water drainage

With increasingly heavy rainfall, it’s important that water can drain properly. Soil with deep-rooted outdoor plants, perennials and shrubs absorbs rainwater more effectively than paved surfaces. Planting directly in the ground helps prevent waterlogging and supports a healthier garden environment.

When to plant your garden plants

You can plant most garden plants throughout the year, as long as it’s not freezing or extremely hot. Spring and autumn are ideal planting seasons. In autumn, the soil is still warm, rainfall is more frequent and plants can establish strong roots before winter. Hardy plants, shrubs and trees benefit especially from autumn planting, giving them a head start for the next growing season.

Types of garden plants

There is a wide variety of garden plants available. Below you’ll find the most popular categories for every garden, terrace or balcony.

Perennials & hardy garden plants

Perennials are winter-hardy plants that return year after year. Some are evergreen, while others lose their leaves in winter. Popular choices include ornamental grasses, lavender and hardy flowering plants. These reliable plants are ideal for borders and mixed plantings.

Shrubs & bushes

Shrubs and bushes add structure, privacy and height to your garden. Many are hardy and low-maintenance. Flowering shrubs such as hydrangea or butterfly bush bring seasonal colour, while evergreen shrubs provide year-round greenery.

(Fruit) trees

Fruit trees and ornamental trees combine beauty and function. From apple and fig trees to olive and citrus trees, many varieties are suitable for gardens, patios and even balconies in pots.

Garden plants for every outdoor space

Garden plants

In larger gardens, combine perennials, shrubs, flowering garden plants and (fruit) trees to create layers and height differences. Add bee-friendly plants to support wildlife and choose hardy plants for year-round structure.

Terrace & patio

For terraces and patios, select easy garden plants and compact shrubs in pots. Mediterranean plants such as olive trees and lavender thrive in sunny spots, while flowering perennials bring seasonal colour.

Balcony

Even small balconies can flourish with the right balcony garden plants. Choose compact perennials, dwarf fruit trees or easy-care flowering plants. Bee-friendly plants are perfect for urban biodiversity.

Garden plants by style

Mediterranean garden plants

Create a sunny holiday feeling with Mediterranean garden plants such as olive trees, citrus trees, rosemary and lavender. These plants love full sun and well-draining soil, making them perfect for patios and terraces.

Cottage garden plants

For a romantic and natural look, choose cottage garden plants. Think soft flowering perennials, roses, hydrangeas and pollinator-friendly blooms. This style combines structure with abundant flowering for a charming, informal atmosphere.

Care for garden plants

Watering garden plants

Established garden plants usually only need extra water during prolonged dry periods. Newly planted shrubs, perennials and trees require more frequent watering until their roots are well developed.

Pruning garden plants

Many shrubs and trees benefit from annual pruning to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth.

Feeding garden plants

Because garden plants are often planted close together, soil nutrients can become depleted. Fertilising during the growing season promotes stronger growth, more flowers and healthier plants.

Garden plants in pots

Outdoor plants in pots require more frequent watering and feeding than plants in open ground. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot and support healthy growth.
